  • Liaising with wider business services teams to ensure smooth delivery
     

Skills & Experience Required

  • Experience in a Client Services / PA / Executive Assistant / legal support role within professional services
  • Private Client experience is highly desirable but not essential
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities
  • Confident communicator with a client-focused, professional approach
  • High level of attention to detail and sound judgemen
  • Comfortable using MS Office and practice management / CRM systems

  • Proactive, solutions-focused and calm under pressure
  • Strong sense of ownership and accountability
  • Collaborative team player with a service-led mindset
  • Adaptable and comfortable stepping into a fast-paced environment
     

Why Apply?
This is a high-quality contract role offering exposure to Private Client work, strong team support, and the chance to add real value in a well-regarded firm. Ideal for someone between roles, returning to work, or looking to broaden their experience within legal client services.
